he's back in cairo now. what if anything was achieved? >> reporter: well, beyond a lot of tough rhetoric against the israeli government and loud support for the palestinian people, this is going to be viewed by many people as an ineffective trip into gaza by this delegation led by egyptian prime minister. remember, the mission, the immediate goal of this delegation was to get into gaza and establish a truce, some sort of cease-fire even if it were to be for a short time. that obviously failed. in many parts of the region, israeli territory, palestinian territory, the violence escalated. and certainly doesn't bode well for what egypt says it wants to do in playing the role of peacemaker. and it seems to undermine and weaken this notion that egypt could play an influential role in this conflict. so some say they did score some p.r. points appearing with the hamas leaders. but beyond rhetoric, they didn't achieve much when it comes to ending this conflict, wolf. >> as you know, the egyptians recalled their ambassador from isra israel, the is

they got 20 intelligence reports blaming the film riot in cairo. but, this is critical, those reports were disproved over time. but disproved after petraeus made his initial presentation to congress. so david petraeus believes there's a lot of confusion and a lot of misrepresentation of what he originally told congress when he briefed them initially after the attacks. he wants to go up there tomorrow, sort it all out. he will also say he had his own talking points separate from u.n. ambassador susan rice. that came from somewhere other in the administration than his direct talking point. so he wants to get all this sorted out. he believes it was the al qaeda sympathizer group ansar al sharia that was responsible for the attacks. >> so the question, barbara, is he is convinced that the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi had nothing, nothing to do with that anti-muslim video that'd been posted on youtube, that this was a terrorist attack by this al qaeda affiliated organization. the question is though, when did he reach that final conclusion? d
